Living Bright by Matthew Williamson

Banish beige. Matthew Williamson shows you how to live in full, joyful color.

Living Bright is the first interiors book from Matthew Williamson, the British designer who built his name on bold prints and saturated color in fashion before turning that same eye to homes. Published by Chronicle Chroma, it gathers what he has learned over nearly three decades of pairing jewel tones, clashing patterns, and unexpected combinations, and turns it into a warm, practical guide for anyone ready to move past neutral walls.

Inside, you step into his own homes in London and Mallorca alongside interior projects and travel imagery that show color working in rooms of every size. Williamson pairs the photography with approachable advice on finding your personal palette, mixing pattern with confidence, and making a big change without a big budget. The result reads like a conversation with a friend who happens to be a gifted decorator, and the sunny yellow cover makes it as cheerful on the table as it is useful on the shelf.
